Carbon Chemistry (Essential Chemistry Series)
The versatility of carbon is what makes this element so much a part of human life. Humans literally cannot live without carbon. All life on Earth is carbon based, both in structure and in function. The energy for all life processes is dependent on carbon-based substances, and most of the energy that humans use to power homes and cars comes from carbon combustion. As an accidental result of these multiple, widespread uses of carbon, humans have disrupted Earth's balance of carbon-with largely unknown future consequences. Now, scientists look to the chemistry of carbon to right the balance. In Carbon Chemistry, learn how carbon is integrated into all facets of life as we know it, and discover the unique properties of this essential element.
